So, right this moment, that score is an outlier by definition. That doesn't mean it's not meaningful. It just means it's anomalous when compared to your current range of scores. Five tests from now, your "current range of scores" will be completely different. So at that point, it could remain an outlier, or it could be below average. Who know. Whatever it is, it's not a score you can luck into. It reflects real skills, and the first step to bringing your average into that range is to start seeing these outliers pop up. Hopefully you'll start seeing them more and more frequently. Well done, and keep at it! Don't get content:)
Thank you! I do think it could be due to the fact that I recently started tutoring. I think the act of explaining it to somebody else really helps solidify understanding.
